HER ESSAY.
A seminary graduate
Was Miss Samantha Brown,
The wisest, wittiest, prettiest girl
In all our lovely town;
Her graduation essay was
The finest ever read
In east or west or north or south
Or anywhere, 'tis said.

Her dress was white pekay, en train,
And built with fairy skill,
'Twas tucked and pleated, gored and trimmed
With many a flounce and frill;
The overdress was baby blue
Enwrought with laces fine,
Oh, all the women folks declared
The essay was divine!

The basque was cut in Perisian style,
With pipings all of silk,
The corsage was besplashed with bars
Of velvet pale as milk;
The waist was made decollete
And showed a comely form;
The essay—doubt you what we say?
Took all the men by storm.
